Perhaps it should also be pointed out that most QF LAMEs(Lvls 3-7) get paid less or equivalent to JetStar or Virgin LAMEs but sign for more than 1 type.
Of course there are some QF LAMEs in the upper band(10-13)who do get paid well,but it should be remembered that they are only being paid what QF wanted them to be paid.If QF didnt want or need those people trained to that degree,then they would not have compensated them to those higher levels of pay.
Maybe Joe public should read in the paper that QF LAMEs are only trying to bring themselves closer to their industry counterparts instead of being left behind on what would be considered third world wages for a highly trained positioned such as a LAME.
Opps......thats right......they do pay LAMEs the same or better in some third world countries,than here in Oz,and generally pay less tax as well.Maybe the government should think about where guys will spend their tax dollars if this is allowed to escalate and alot of guys are forced overseas.
